What is Helm in the Kubernetes ecosystem?
- AA package manager for Kubernetes applications
- BA container runtime for scheduling Kubernetes pods
- CA service mesh for routing traffic between pods
- DA monitoring agent for collecting Kubernetes metrics
Why this is the answer
Helm packages, installs, and upgrades Kubernetes applications, like apt or npm for a cluster. It is not a runtime such as containerd, which actually executes the containers Helm deploys.
